The purpose of this application is to undertake a detailed analysis of current and future Livestock Animal Welfare RD&E capability and infrastructure, identify current and emerging gaps, and develop recommendations and strategies to address these gaps.

The analysis of extension capability focused on the skills available for development of animal welfare extension strategies and preparation of resources and coursework materials rather than on generic extension delivery.

Companion animals (such as cats and dogs), zoo animals, wild animals (including vertebrate pest animals), fish, and animals used for experimentation or recreation were not considered as part of the project.

There are two documents available for download:

• The final report
• The appendices which include survey questions and answers
